I appreciate that, Mr. Byrne. I was just looking at the time. We're about five minutes shy of that full hour, according to my watch, from when we started until this point in time. The minister did inform the committee that she was available for one hour. In the interest of fairness, five minutes does not allow for a full round of questioning around the table here this morning.
I was fairly generous in the amount of time afforded to each party as we went around the table with the minister this morning. Certainly it's entirely up to the minister, but with all due respect, Mr. Byrne, the minister did inform this committee that she would be here for one hour; we're fairly close to that one hour, and we've had the opportunity.
The officials will be here for the second hour for further rounds as we proceed throughout the committee.
Minister, would you like to comment?
